angiepants [one pocket at a time]

Hi, I'm a newly turned 22 year old long island lady whose living her second life in philly, home of squished pretzels and 'brotherly' love. I'm going to school for Physical Therapy and known to geek over anything anatomy or adaptive sports. My favorites are fruit, artsy things, and laying on the ground instead of actual chairs. This is my place of inspirations, thoughts, and daily occurences. Enjoy.

I carry my sony camera around in its leather pouch with me 96% of the time.

This profession is good for me

I need to keep myself healthy and strong to fully help others get healthy and strong.  Practicing PT keeps me from going downhill and focused on others instead of myself.

This is so precious. I have no idea if it’ll actually stay after my 3 years of study, but when I shadowed a Pediatric PT in NJ over my Freshman summer break she ran a Little Star’s Ballerina Program.  Honestly, it’s the best worlds combined.  Obviously it involves PT, but I could get to relive my dance ages (from age 2 to 18 and missing Tap the most!) and work with children all day (rewarding and fun!).  Plus, having other teens get involved as ‘buddies’ would only get the community (wherever that is when I decide to settle!) involved. I bought it up in my Graduate Admissions Interview last year and it’s still an option that’s stuck to me from 2 years ago.

Day 7 - What is your field of study? How did you come to this decision, and how many times have you changed your mind?

Physical Therapy!  I did dance for many, many years and really just had a natural interest in the body and health aspects.  I was originally learning towards nutrition but was told it was a difficult major to get a job in.  I took a leap with Physical Therapy and luckily, I love it.  It was even further confirmed in my summer after freshmen year- I shadowed under two Pediatric Physical Therapists in New Jersey (one being an aunt and another who specialized in Spina Bifida) and couldn’t help but ask so many questions and get overly excited. 

I’ve been on an accelerated track for my Doctorate and haven’t changed my mind since!
